Notsocleaver Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've never had one, but I like the occasional long and skinny. What does the Especiales No.2 bring to the table that say, a Monte 3 doesn't? What other Montecristo cigars are most similar to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritch Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 And the esp 1 is much the same as the esp 2 just a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter4alia Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm not much of a Monte fan, but the Esp 2 is excellent. My favorite Monte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeVee Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've never had either and I am a lancero fan and a Monte fan. I guess I'm a bad fan. . ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump89 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Also my favorite monte. Everything great about Montecristo, but definitely more concentrated and intense. I also find they smoke well young and with age. Buy them, smoke them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the Especiales No.2 bring to the table that say, a Monte 3 doesn't? What other Montecristo cigars are most similar to it? I'm not familiar with the Monte 3, but I had a 2016 Especial No. 2 a few nights ago, and was really blown away! I've had the box for well over a year, and was really put off by the few samples I tried early on. On a whim, tried one again. This stick was incredibly creamy and sweet with no bitterness. The flavor reminded me of latte with a splash of vanilla. The draw was a bit tight, which made it a bit of a chore to smoke, but the flavors were outrageously good.

AbasCigar Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It is one of my favourites. Actually my first ever full box purchase. Ended up buying 3 boxes of them. One to smoke now and the rest to age. They are great fresh, however if you have the stamina to age them. They become "great slow sex" good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeskSmkr Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 They feel nice to me in the hand, I’ve always liked things that are mini or quality and small. Being narrow, they are not a jawbreaker, comfortable to hold with the teeth/lips - hands free. Cocoa is apparent, stronger than Monte 1 and 2. Flavors seem concentrated. I like the length of time, about one hour start to finish. For me, better smoked in solitude, where I can give it my full attention; both to appreciate what it offers, and to deliberately smoke slowly and attentively to keep the burning ember cool and develop its full potential. It’s a personal cigar for a specific time, I don’t think it’s suited to every person, or every time and place. My affinity for them wasn’t as much because of what others said, it was from trying many different sizes and this one working for me. I’ve been smoking cigars for a while and still haven’t mastered this vitola. The smoking technique is different than typical cigars that are much larger diameter. The skinnies are harder to smoke without overheating. Sometimes this frustrates the bejeebies out of me, so I have to remind myself to be in the right frame of mind and remember what I’m getting into before deciding to smoke one. Right now light steady draws with long delays between or little sips is working. Time: They are too short and too long of a smoke for some situations. Sometimes due to my negligence and needing to learn while doing, they’ve lacked complexity or been one dimensional or obliterated. I can’t smoke these like a robusto or a pyramid furiously puffing. It’s a cigar with different minutia qualities that I love. Intriguing, challenging, rewarding. The flavors are ones I like. I’d strongly suspect that many people would naturally prefer something different, and many people will also love these. Curious to hear your thoughts after you’ve tried some, If you choose to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
